Do you think glycolysis is a reversed process of photo synthesis? Why or why not? Explain both the aspects that why would you consider glycolysis as a reversed process of photosynthesis as well as why would you not consider it as a reverse process. Include all the reactions required and all the possible explanation in favor of your answer.

Which part of the Calvin cycle would be affected if a cell could not produce the enzyme RuBIsCO?
Is water the only possible electron donor in photosynthesis? Why or why not?
Why is it true that the electrons from photolysis are absolutely required for photosynthesis?
A culture of the single celled organism Chlamydomonas is actively carrying out photosynthesis in the presence of light and CO2. If you turned off the light, how would you expect the amounts of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate and 3-phosphoglycerate to change over the next minute? How about if you left the light on and removed the CO2?

Tell me why the authors put this photosynthesis equation here. What do you think is its main purpose for the process of photosynthesis by an equation?
Describe the Calvin Cycle of Photosynthesis and its function. What are some of the products that can be made from the Calvin cycle? Explain how the enzyme ribulosebisphosphate carboxylase catalyzes a reaction (RuBisCo).
What would happen if the enzyme rubisco suffers denaturation? How and where the process of photosynthesis May or not be affected?
Photosynthesis and Respiration: Explain the details of the light-dependent reaction. Make sure you provide the details as to how all three products are made and where this reaction takes place.
If chlorophyll is extracted from plant cells and exposed to light, it absorbs light energy momentarily and this energy is almost immediately reradiated as light. Thus chlorophyll molecules can not cause photosynthesis by themselves. Why? What is required for photosynthesis to occur?
Describe the purpose of the light dependent reaction and light independent reaction (carbon fixation reaction) in photosynthesis. In addition, explain how the products of the light dependent reaction are used in the light independent reaction (carbon fixation reaction)
In 2005, a new species of green sulfur bacteria was discovered near a geothermal vent at the bottom of the ocean. An exceptionally efficient light-harvesting mechanism allows these bacteria to carry out photosynthesis where the only illumination is a dim volcanic glow emanating from the vent. Cell membrane are required for electron transfer chains in the light-dependent reactions. but these bacteria have no internal membranes. How do you think they carry out the light-dependent reactions?
